1990 Porsche 928 GT track car

Porsche's intended replacement for the 911 may not have achieved that particular goal, but it wasn't for a lack of performance or technological wizardry. An alloy V8 was attached to a rear-mounted gearbox, and the galvanised body had aluminium doors and bonnet, plus body-coloured plastic bumpers - pretty radical for its time. The 928 was launched to a fanfare and surprised many by being named European Car of the Year, an award that traditionally went to worthy, but dull, family hatchbacks.

Critics immediately recognised the advances inherent in the 928 over the 911, and the car was universally praised as one of the greatest 'GT' cars of all time. It handled, it was quick, it looked fantastic and it was comfortable. With the 928, Porsche created a serious long distance grand-touring car that could also tackle twisting B-roads with ease, thanks to super-direct steering, 50/50 weight distribution and a clever Weissach rear axle that kept the car firmly planted. Porsche continuously developed their range-topper throughout its production life, culminating with the launch of the S4 in 1987, which differed slightly from the earlier Series cars with its smoothed-off front and rear bumpers, larger rear spoiler, more interior equipment and a 5-litre version of the V8 engine developing 316bhp and with improved low-end pulling power. The 928 S4 was an even greater technical 'tour de force' than before.

This, right-hand drive, UK-supplied Porsche 928 GT with a 5-speed manual gearbox was first registered on 13th February 1990. Now bearing registration G96 ADL it was purchased by our vendor's father to convert into a track-day car. As a result, the old interior has been stripped out and in its place, he has fitted a bolt-in roll cage, Sparco bucket seats, and a set of Schroth harnesses. The car was fully resprayed in Grand Prix White and the wheels painted Red to give it a "Clubsport' look.

The perfect candidate for further track days or even a possible entrant into the CSCC "Modern Classics' series if the safety equipment were to be renewed, this car is MOT tested until 31st August 2018 and is supplied with a UK V5c. Representing superb value at today's guide we urge all budding track enthusiasts to come and view this 928 GT in person.
